Abstract

A wedge connector assembly (100) for forming an electrical connection with an elongate electrical conductor includes a resilient spring member (110) and a cam wedge member (150). The spring member defines a spring member channel (122, 132). The spring member channel has a spring member channel axis and is configured to receive the electrical conductor such that the electrical conductor extends along the spring member channel axis. The cam wedge member is mounted on the spring member such that the cam wedge member is rotatable relative to the spring member about a pivot axis to a locking position wherein the cam wedge member captures the electrical conductor in the spring member channel and elastically deflects the spring member.
